The life cycle of a typical cell is roughly divided into two phases, and . Interphase is a time of growth and synthesis and is further divided in to G1, S and G2 stages. G stands for “growth”. During G1, the cell grows and makes materials needed to replicate its DNA. DNA is then replicated during the S or “synthesis” phase. Additional growth occurs during G2 as the cell prepares for cell division. Cell division encompasses both nuclear division () and cytoplasm division (). See Fig 8.6 on p 125 in your book.allows cells in our body to regenerate (e.g., replacement of shed skin cells) and to repair damaged tissue, since mitosis produces daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell. Before beginning this exercise, you will want to review Mitosis in our online lecture and examine the diagrams in Fig 8.7 on pp 126-127 and Fig 8.8 on p 128, which illustrates some differences between animal and plant cells. As you can see, each phase of the cell cycle can be recognized based on the appearance the and nucleus. In this first exercise, you will need to be able to identify the various phases of the cell in onion cells. Below is an example of what you will be looking at: Note that is hard to determine exactly when one phase ends and the next one starts. Slide #7, for example is early anaphase and could also be considered late metaphase. Slide #9 is early telophase, but might also be considered late anaphase.See your for the instructions and the photographs you will use to complete this exercise.Meiosis is the process by which (eggs and sperm) are produced from a germ cell. This type of cell division is unlike mitosis in that the cells produced are genetically different than the parent cell and the resulting cells contain only half the number of chromosomes (haploid). In this exercise, you will need to demonstrate your understanding of Meiosis and the role it plays in sexually reproducing organisms. Review this unit’s reading in your book (pp 131-141) and this unit’s online lecture before completing this exercise. You will need to the following animation, so be sure that you are able to open and view it:McGraw-Hill Higher Education. 2006. How Meiosis Works When you are ready, open theand answer the questions for this exercise.Review pp 130-121, pp 138-140 and our online lecture this unit before beginning this exercise. Many genetic disorders arise as a result of errors during Meiosis and the formation of gametes (= egg and sperm). Frequently, these errors are due to , in which chromosomes fail to separate correctly during Anaphase. When this happens, a daughter cell ends up with either an extra chromosome or it is missing a chromosome. These genetic disorders can be detecting using a screening process called a . In this exercise, you will learn how a karyotype is generated and used to diagnose the presence or absence of a disorder.You will use the following website to complete this exercise:The Biology Project. 1998.

You have been working as a police officer for the Centervale Police Department for two years. You are on your nightly patrol in your marked police vehicle with your partner, Edward, who has been on the force for seven years. You receive a call on the radio to respond to a domestic abuse situation requiring backup. Your partner and you are second to respond to the call. You arrive at the scene, which is in a neighborhood with a bad reputation. Upon arrival, you witness a couple, Abby and Bobby, standing outside their house, yelling obscenities at each other.The couple refuses to calm down and speak with the officers, Christina and David, who are already on the scene. The girlfriend, Abby, is slurring her speech and seems unaware of the trickle of blood running down the side of her head. The boyfriend, Bobby, has extremely bloodshot eyes and does not appear to have slept in days. Moreover, Bobby\’s speech is accelerated, and he\’s breathing rapidly as if he has just sprinted from the drugstore down the block. You notice that Bobby\’s hands and face have scratches all over them.Also, the front door is open.Your partner, Edward, has known this couple as they have been in trouble with the law before. He steps in between Abby and Bobby and begins to gather information from Abby, while you call for an ambulance.As Edward speaks with the couple, you begin to walk around the yard, observing what you can. You look in through the front door, and while there is only one light on in the house, you observe what appears to be a bong and a baggie of marijuana on the coffee table in the front room of the house. Because Edward is standing with Abby and there are two other officers outside with Bobby, you decide to enter the house to take a closer look.You discover that there is indeed a bong and a baggie of marijuana on the table. Looking under the couch next to the coffee table, you discover a shotgun as well. You begin to wonder what other illegal items might be in the house, when you hear a yell from outside and run out to discover that Bobby is being handcuffed and put in a police car. Apparently, Bobby tried to use a weapon on Abby in front of Edward and the other officers.He is quoted as saying, \”Just because the cops are here doesn\’t mean I won\’t finish what I started!\” as he reached for his waistband.As Bobby is being driven away, Abby breaks down into tears and cries out after her boyfriend, \”Don\’t worry, baby! I\’ll come bail you out as soon as I can turn a little profit with the goods!\”You tell your partner what you observed in the house. After the paramedics declare that Abby\’s head injury is nothing more than a bad scratch, your partner and you drive Abby down to the police precinct for further questioning, leaving Christina and David at the scene to secure it until more investigation can be done.What You Need to Do . . .Utilizing APA guidelines and citing relevant case law and specific details from external sources, present a 4- to 6-page research paper that explains what you need to do next with respect to the evidence left behind at the scene. In addition, consider what you need to do with any other evidence you may discover at the precinct from Abby and Bobby or on their persons. As you consider your next steps, address the following issues:Submission Details:

  Due Week 10 and worth 100 pointsAs a way of experiencing the Humanities beyond your classroom, computer, and textbook, you are asked to do a certain type of “cultural activity” that fits well with our course and then report on your experience.   Your instructor will require you to propose an activity and get instructor approval before you do it and report on it (students should look for any instructions in that respect). Every effort should be made to ensure that this is a hands-on experience (not a virtual one), that this activity fits the HUM 112 class well, and that the activity is of sufficient quality for this university course. The two (2) key types of activities are a museum visit or a performance. : This must not be a report on the same activity (and certainly not the same report) as done for another class, like HUM 111. For instance, one might go to the same museum as done for HUM 111, but this HUM 112 report will focus on entirely different works and displays. : Submit your cultural activity choice to the instructor for approval before the end of Week 5 (earlier is even better). Look for guidance from the instructor for how or where to make your proposal. You may also seek advice from your instructor (provide your town / state or zip code) for a good activity in your general area. : If a student is unable to attend a cultural event in person due to circumstances beyond the student’s control, then the instructor will recommend an alternate event / activity for the student to “attend” online. The “virtual” event / activity is usually only for students who, due to their physical location, cannot possibly attend an event / activity in person; typically, these students are stationed overseas or have no means of transportation. If you believe that you have a legitimate reason for attending a “virtual” activity, you must contact the instructor no later than Week 5 for your request to be considered.  Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic / organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the following rubric 

Can Leaders Really Motivate Employees? In today\’s turbulent environment, success depends on employees using their skills and capabilities to the fullest. Employee motivation can be a challenge at work. Those leaders who don’t emphasize employee satisfaction as a key part of the organizational strategy will not be able to leverage the potential of the human assets to the fullest. Every person needs motivation at work. The reasons for working vary widely, but we all work because we obtain something that we need from work. This affects morale, production, retention, and overall quality of life. To create positive employee motivation, employees must have a voice and feel that they are worthy to the team and to the organization. Based on your research using the module readings, Argosy University online library, and Internet resources, respond to the following: Can leaders really motivate employees? If so, how and for how long? Is there a way to create and sustain a motivating environment that will also help retain talent? What is it? How does it work? APA Standards
